100 Books Project: Silverlake
February 25, 2010[Book #50 left in Silverlake, a hipster enclave of east Los Angeles, February 22, 2010]
On a play date with Ms. Maganda Christine Castro and Creative Thursday maven Marisa Haedike, I deposited Book #50 at the entrance of a cool spice shop in Silverlake, Los Angeles. This was within walking distance of one of my favorite spots in Silverlake – Reform School – where I got a fabulous bright blue refurbished rotary phone.
Our play date began earlier that day at the French General, where we took our time perusing the amazing array of beads, fabrics and vintage goodies. The entire day was ooh-la-la all the way around!
Silverlake is a great place for a field trip. I’m gonna have to check out the 2 places you mentioned. Love the rotary phones…mine is fiesta orange and the only phone in the house that works when the electricity goes out. Sometimes I just sit and dial the thing for the sound it makes. It’s sort of comforting, like going back, you know…back :^)
sounds fun! i am sure whoever found your book is dancing for joy right now and loving Silver Lake that much more. xo
I can’t wait to be one of your book fairies….
and I just have that feeling that madison will be one of those places that you’ll hear back from….we’re just like that around these parts
